Either that or you are delusional about Somalia. Most westerners think it's time to wrap things up there. Only Somalis don't.
 
They can't really afford to do that. Unlike the Taliban, al-Shabaab isn't a nationalist organization.

The average westerner doesn't understand that, their government's do.

The average westerner sees no markers of statehood or development which is elections, security, law and order, basic infrastructure, services like healthcare and eduction or any kind of industry.

Somalis are like yeah this is fine and in fact all we need is powerful army and more territories please.
Foreign policy ranks low in importance to the electorate, and these governments don't care about popular opinion anyway.

Anyway the point is that the westerners take a dim view of Somalia. If someone suggested rolling Somalia up into Ethiopia like someone mentioned earlier, they would probably agree.

They have a dim view of Somalia because they're Somali and Muslim, something Landers will always be.

Westerners want to keep the failed state/UN colony alive and eventually the puppet govt will collapse quite quickly once that supports stops, a great example is the Afghan govt which was far more powerful than the Somalian govt right now.

SL should be diversifying our friends, first step should be abandoning Taiwan. SL should start reaching out to China,Iran,India etc. Twerking for the West doesn't work, as they are determined to keep this vegetable govt alive despite it being doomed in the long-term.
That is how you lose lmfao. Taiwan is important to the US unlike SL. Your nation provides nothing to the world. Just a shithole within a shithole.

That would be the most retarded thing Ethiopia could do adding 20 million more insurgents to a state already very close to balkanization is leading to the biggest conflict in the horn since Ahmed Gurey. The average citizen doesn’t understand this but at the same time they don’t care

This period in Ethiopian history is apparently reminscent of the Zemene Mesafint or the Age of Princes.


Ethiopians respect central authority even if it's just a figure head.

(Not Ethiopian, I just heard it on a podcast recently).

Amhara are naturally docile farmers. They were serfs (closer to slaves honestly) who bowed to the whims of their rulers. Noble landlords extracted innumerable amounts of tithes and crops from farmers. Somalis are by contrast egalitarian, nomadic, and fiercely independent, Sometimes to our own detriment. When Ethiopia invaded the south in 2006 They were losing 200 soldiers weekly now imagine what would happen if it was the whole country + Somalis in Somali Galbeed

Habasha respect a Central ruler because they're a feudal isolationist society. This is a new ethiopia however, one with Oromo and Somali in it. Muslims who despise the state.

Cadaans wouldn’t do that, unless they want the east Africa slave trade to restart.

@Khaemwaset @Itsnotthateasy Just look at how much taxes Amhara peasants had to pay before the end of the Solomonic era. That’s the difference between Somalis and Amhara. Amhara accepted this state of borderline slavery for thousands of years. Somalis wouldn’t even accept something like this for even a minute
